Children's glasses
Glasses for a child have to fit, last the school year and feel good enough to keep on. Christy fits every pair and adjusts it while you wait when she can.
What we fit
Frames for small faces, in plastic and metal
Lenses made to your child's prescription
Adjustments and repairs after the first fitting
How we fit glasses for a child
Fit
Frames sit on the nose and ears without slipping, pinching or leaving red marks.
Lenses
Impact-resistant lenses and a scratch-resistant coating are worth asking about. Dr. Alaniz says what your child needs.
Durability
Flexible frames and spring hinges handle a backpack better. We adjust glasses that get bent.

Questions about glasses
How often does a child need new glasses?
A child's prescription can change as they grow. We check at each yearly exam and tell you if new lenses are needed.
Can my child wear glasses for sports?
Ask about sports frames and protective eyewear. Dr. Alaniz can write a prescription for them.
